WHOSE TURN IS IT TO WALK THE RHINO? OR, HOW CAN WE USE RISK MANAGEMENT EFFECTIVELY? by Joyce Statz

There is no single best way for organizations of all types to do risk management. Instead, there appears to be a maturity model for risk management that has at least three levels.

Coping with "Impossible" Project Demands

Ed Yourdon

It's a familiar scenario: you've just been assigned to manage a mission-critical IT project, and you've been told that you've got a schedule of six months, a staff of five people, and a budget of $250,000. But with a little investigation and estimating work, you've concluded that at the very least, it will take 12 months, 10 people, and $1 million. You try to negotiate a more reasonable set of project parameters, but you're told that the deadline is fixed, that no additional people can be hired, and that money is tight.

The Microsoft Lawsuit

Ed Yourdon

Well, it finally happened: Microsoft's game of "hardball" has resulted in a lawsuit from the Justice Department and from the attorneys general of 20 states. Assuming that there's no last-minute out-of-court settlement (which briefly appeared to be happening last weekend), this is a case that could drag on for years. And, conceivably, it could have as large an impact as the anti-trust lawsuit against IBM in the 1960s and against AT&T in the 1980s.
